Subject: [parisc-linux] [PATCH] New help text for HIL options
Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2004 02:21:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040827012141.GA4746@ntlworld.com> (raw)
This patch changes the help text for the following options:
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL_OLD
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL
CONFIG_MOUSE_HIL
CONFIG_HP_SDC
I hope it's an improvement.
Help for CONFIG_HIL_MLC is still missing, though.
